本文基于吉林省1990-2011年进出口数据,利用Granger因果关系检验和协整检验,研究吉林省对外贸易与地区经济增长之间的关系。结果显示,对外贸易与经济增长存在长期的稳定关系,出口与经济增长之间不存在Granger因果关系,进口与经济增长存在双向Granger因果关系。因此,在吉林省未来的对外贸易发展中,注重协调进口与出口的关系,在稳定进口的同时,扩大出口,来促进经济的增长。 Based on the import and export data of Jilin Province from 1990 to 2011, this paper uses Granger causality test and cointegration test to study the relationship between Jilin Province’s foreign trade and regional economic growth. The results show that there is a long-term and stable relationship between foreign trade and economic growth, there is no Granger causation between export and economic growth, and two-way Granger causality between imports and economic growth. Therefore, in the future development of foreign trade in Jilin Province, we will pay attention to coordinating the relationship between imports and exports and will expand exports to promote economic growth while stabilizing imports.
